A pin prick would be a simple eample. The body's nervous system recognises that the point of a pin is pressing on the skin, this fires pain receptors, and the brain instructs the muscles to pull that part of the body away from the source of discomfort.

What is the relationship between a stimulus and a response?

A response is always triggered by a stimulus. One example is in a neuron (nerve cell).

Once the eye opens thousands of sensors in the eye pick up the photons bouncing off all objects (stimulus), and the human is able to see (response).
